- Light over deepMulham brings green and aromatic; Violaceous brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
- Notes in commonBoth list sandalwood, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
- A shared threadAromatic, fresh spicy, woody and green run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Violaceous in fall and Mulham in spring and summer. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Violaceous is long lasting and moderate, Mulham long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointMulham first, then Violaceous over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
